Well, I cannot believe it's over. She is gone, flying, as I write, over the state likely still counting ballots from the primary. Even though the 'game' has been called, many precincts are still reporting in, having troubles getting their ballots into the machines which are sized differently than the ballots. Oops!
Linda and I recounted briefly our adventures on this visit, trying to remember the fun which took place only days ago. Now, that's the kind of fun we have! First of all, we had lunch at Whitey's on the sun deck, enjoying the lovely weather and fried dill pickles with Justin. Linda got a chance to greet Julia again, when we stopped at Great Hang Ups.
That evening, we drove over to Victory for the WLC concert, with Judy J., so those two ladies had some time to catch up. We did get to see many, many of my friends, which was fabulous. Linda got to talk with Carol D. whom she would not see again on her time with me.
Friday morning we walked over to The Club for Breakfast Club where Linda met Mary and had a great meal to begin our day. For lunch we went to Basketique/Over the 2nd Cup for the tea social where she got to hang out with a mess of GS ladies for this wonderful event. Friday night we ate at home---imagine that!
On Saturday Justin, Linda, and I went shopping at Kohl's and had lunch at Mojo's. Saturday night was Dinner and a Movie with Judy C. for which I made a kettle of chili. Judy brought fresh strawberries with whipped topping to serve over pound cake for our dessert. Yummy! We only had one guest since my second wing back chair was in my bedroom for Linda to use when watching the Roku. Linda and I sobbed our hearts out, and Judy had her hands over her face when watching "Courageous". We do know how to have fun!
Sunday Justin, Linda, and I went to Christ the King for church, where she met again Bonnie F., whom she'd met at Victory over the years of visits. Cool! We worshiped and partook of the Lord's Supper with our fellow believers. Lunch was enjoyed at The Columbia at St. Augustine, and an afternoon and evening at home. We do know how to have fun!
Monday morning was Bible study for which Justin joined us, and then lunch at Longhorn. Linda got to spend time again with the church ladies, meeting Betty for the first time on this visit. She got a kick out of Gretchen blowing the wrappers off the straws in the restaurant. That rascal! We sat outside for a bit in the afternoon so I could get warmed up, and Justin made dinner for us that evening.
Today, Linda and I ate breakfast at home together, since normally she eats alone for that meal, having hot cross buns. Oh yum! Since Linda had never eaten at Steak 'n Shake before, we used the coupons which came in the mail, and had lunch on the Island at S 'n S. She had a small shake, Mint Oreo, complete with chunks of cookie in it. How would they expect those chunks to go up the straw???
When the time came, I drove Linda to the airport and dumped her off at the curb---good riddance! No, not really, we hugged and hugged, I cried, and then cried some more as I drove off toward home. How fast the time went by...And Linda is right, we have words left over! And, we do know how to have fun!
